Eric Johnson and Mike Stern are two of the world's most celebrated jazz/ rock/ fusion guitarists. They received rave reviews for their recently released album collaboration, Eclectic, recorded at Johnson's studio in Austin and released on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group.
Featured on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Down Beat magazine, the pairing of Johnson and Stern is described as a "virtuoso-meets-virtuoso collaboration that spans the rock-jazz divide. Their aptly titled CD Eclectic incorporates a diverse array of styles, including gnashing rockers, rockabilly-tinged up-tempo blues, jazzy swings and horn-driven pop cookers."
Concert proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bastrop County, a nonprofit, youth development agency working to empower local youth to become caring, productive, responsible citizens. Visit www.bastropbgc.net or Facebook: www.facebook.com/BoysGirlsClubsBastropCounty for information.
